Actually in my F15 RC3 system when I plug an usb key and open
explorer, if I right click on this usb device line I can see both
"Eject" and "Safely remove Drive" icons
So it seems to me the same behaviour as in F14 (apart from the desktop icon).

Can you elaborate this, Rahul, please?

yum search gnome-shell-extension gives to me only these ones below:

gnome-shell-extensions-alternate-tab.noarch : Classic Alt+Tab
behavior. Window based instead of app based
gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu.noarch : For those who
want a power off item visible at all the time
gnome-shell-extensions-auto-move-windows.noarch : Assign specific
workspaces to applications
gnome-shell-extensions-common.noarch : Files common to GNOME Shell Extensions
gnome-shell-extensions-dock.noarch : Shows a dock-style task switcher
permanently
gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme.noarch : Lets the user select a
custom theme for the shell
gnome-shell-extensions-windowsNavigator.noarch : Keyboard selection of
windows and work-spaces in overlay mode


Thanks,
